1. removed two screws to take off top.2. removed two screws to take off front.3. Took belt off pulley and removed drum.4. inspected old heating element at back of dryer - saw broken wire5. replaced heating element (round w/ heating coil)6. Re-assembled dryer

Helpful hints:1. mark down or take pictures of all wires before removal - easy to mix them up2. when you re-attach drum-belt, it should be taught. Comes straight down wall around metal pulley and then forms an "S" as it wraps around plastic pulley on way up. To re-attach, stick both arms into dryer - one to pull plastic-pulley and other to attach belt.
